Miles Hughes, Wonderful Clock.

.
 Miles Hughes for the past seven years has been devoting his spare moments to hobby in the form of a clock, wonderful alike in design and execution. The framework stands about seven feet high; the front is embellished with carved work and hand painting. The dial, sixteen inches in diame- ter, shows the second, minute and hour, ranging from one to twenty four; also the days of the week and month in separate cir cles. An inner ring displays figures core spending to the ''twelve-hour" system, thus furnishing two readings-one of twelve hours and the main one of twenty-four. The only other notable feature of the clock pro per is that the interior mechanism is unusu- ally simple, containing half the ordinary number of wheels, while performing rectly greater variety of work. By an in- genious adjustment of the lower and upper works very sensational effect is reached in the artistic canopy, a strange device. At every quarter the twelve apostles are seen to march out at one door and in at another, in semi circle, in front of figure intended to represent Christ. Peter is seen to turn his back upon the Saviour. Overhead is the in scription Beware of Temptation" and hand pointing leftward to bar, in front of which dude is seen approaching portly aproned ''host," who receives contemptously his visitors overtures to ''stand him of. !" At the extreme left curtained door of the adjoining saloon opens and discloses a police man in the act of getting away, with his mug of beer. At the extreme right is aper- ture, out of which figures representing g Childhood" :" 'Youth," !" Manhood" and "Old Age' emerge to correspond with the first, second, third and last quarters of the hour. Not the least wonderful thing about the clock is the fact that the bulk of it's ella borate carved work was done at odd times by means of jack knife, and that some of the richer effects were produced from cigar hoyas

THE POPE,S INCOME,
Sources of the Enormous Papal Rev. eRue-What His Holiness Does With

Sources of the Enormous Papal Rev.
 eaue-What His Holiness Does With
 1t.
 A foreign diplomatist accredited to Rome gives the following account of the present Pope's income and what he does with it. The pontifcal revenue is derived from three of an enormous sum left by Pope Plus TX. to the papal treasury, which interest pro- duces some six hundred thousand dollars. The capital of this is invested in English government funds. Contrary to what some persons might imagine, Leo XIII. is a great speculator and subscribes to all the Italian loans. When the latter rise he sells out and invests the profits in English con- sols. To the revenue left by Piux K. must be added 8 sum almost equal in amount furnished by the Pete1s pence fund, which, however, has fallen off of late years. This constitutes the ordinary budget of the Holy See as distinguished from the extraor- dinary budget. The latter is derived from third source, and is supplied by the receipts of the apostolic chaneellery. The collation. of titles of nobility, decorations, blessings in articulo lnortis, altar privileges, private ehapels, ecclesiastical titles-such are few
  ordinary budget. It amounts to an average of five hundred thousand dollars per annum, and serves to make up the private purse of the sovereign pontiff, and on which he relies to exercise his generosity. It will be ob- served that the private budget of the Pope is thus derived in great measure from the satisfaction of human vanity, The ordinary budget of the Holy See, which, as stated above, amounts to one million two hundred thousand dollars per annum, is distributed by the major domo of the Vatican among the cardinals residing in Rome-about five thousand dollars year each-the prelates of the papal court, the secretaries, the nuncios, the pontifcal body guards, etc.
 It is denied that Leo XIII is avaricious On the contrary no Pope ever gave more, his holiness keeping nothing for himself. AS ! for his table, it resembles that of pool | country curate. His clothes cost him moth 1 ing, being supplied by the faithful from al parts of the world, and he scarcely keeps penny to enrich even his own family. The | dowry he gave to his favorite nephew, tn, ! handsome Camille Pecci, did not reach twen | ty thousand dollars, while as for the presents | he gave the bride, they were of the poores | kind. On the other hand he spends grea l deal in raising the prestige of his court, il creating schools, relieving the poor ant maintaining the Catholic press. He give 1 large subsidies to papers which support hi | policy, but they must be entirely subser vient to him.
 ] As yet he has not touched a penny 0 1 the annual allowance of six hundred thou l sand dollars accorded to the Vatican unde 1 the law of papal guarantees passed whe1 | Victor Emmanual took possession of Rome l The annual income has gone on accumulatin; 1 throughout all these seventeen years, ant now reaches an enormous sum. The Italian bishops and clergy are paid by the Italian government since the death of Plus TX.

State was or is made unlawful or is prohib- ited." Its special purpose is to compensate brewers, distillers and liquor dealers for losses that may arise in consequence of the passage of the amendment. It is claimed that the introduction of this bill is designed to frighten taxpayers of prohibitory proclivi- ties into voting against the amendment in order to avoid the burden of expense which compensation would involve, and, secondly, to console brewers and iquordealers with the hope that they can sell their stocks and plants to the State at good profit.

 lars 8 share. Ryder put fifty thousand dol lars in good money in the company, more cash probably than was put in by any one man. From the moment he bought it the stock began to decline and was finally down to five and six dollars per share. He bought bonds to even up on and probably had sev- enty-fve thousand dollars in good money in the scheme when it failed. When Cum mings and Kent took hold of the plant they generously took Ryder under their protee- tion. The latter. however, was not altogeth- CT deadhead He presided at some of the indignation meetings and stanchly prevented the kickers from doing any business. He was taken into the reorganization scheme, and as the bonds are now ninety eight and the stock at forty, he is probably fifty thou sand dollars ahead instead of seventy-five thousand dollars behind.

FREE RUTUNEOUAL.

FREE BUT UNEQUAL.
 MT. J. Chester Lyman's article in the cur rent number of the North American Review has called attention to an important matter. Few people are aware of the inequalities of suffrage which exist in the various States of the Union. They are surprising.
 Of the thirty States constituting the Union, only twenty one require the qualif- cations of citizenship, while the remaining seventeen make no such demand. One Rentucky) requires two years residence within it's limits, twenty five States require a one years residence, nine States are satis- lied with six months, one (Minnesota) is COL tented with four months and the remaining two (Maine and M1chigan) make no higher residential demand upon the aspirant to suf- frage than that he shall have made his home within their limits for ninety days
 Of the seventeen states that do not require citizenship, there are four in which for eigner Is allowed to exercise the franchise after he has been in the United States six months; there are eleven of the seventeen that require him to have been within their borders for year before he reaches out for the "crown of citizenship;" one Kentucky) exacts residence of two years and one (Michigan) two years and half.
 Nine of the States demand the previous payment of some sort of tax, five more re- fuse enfranchisement to paupers, while in the remaining twenty-four no property quail fcation is considered necessary.
 Mir. Lyman very correctly says of this con- dition of things: If it is right that in one State the non-citizen resident should vote, it is equally right in every State, and the twen- ty-one States that require their voters to be citizens do their foreign residents grievous wrong. On the other hand, if any State may justly require citizenship as condition for enfranchisement, every State should re- quire it. The seventeen States that allow non-citizens to vote are unjust to their own citizens, for they give them individually less relative power in the councils of the nation than that possessed by the citizens of the twenty one States which require citizenship.
 Some way should be found to secure uni formity among the different States in the conditions which they attach to the posses sion and exercise of the franchise.

Bill Arp in YazOe.

From the Atlanta ConStitution.l
 Talk about your towns, I found little oity hid away out on the Yazoo river that surprised me very much. It is right hard to find and you come right upon it very unex- pectedly when you do find it-for although it is not on an island exactly, 1t might as we'll be-for it has no neighbors and is 8 kind of imperium in imperio. Yazoo City is certainly the most independent little city I know of. They found enough dry land over there to build town on, and plenty of high bluffs to retreat to in case of gene ral flood. The town rises gently and grace fully to these highlands. The business blocks are compact and the stores are all in good architectural taste and well kept. The streets are all gravelled and never get mud dy. The churches are together and the houses of the people look attractive and in viting. "Come income right in," they seem to say and would not have hesitated to have visited any house and introduced myself, for 1 know that well-behaved stranger would find a welcome. The peo- ple all seem to be one family, and they stop at the gate and talk as they pass each others homes. Even the great Illinois Central rail road seems to be proud of the town, and has
 
 depots that are in the State. Half a dozen steamboats ply this river regularly, and as many more trading boats come ont and go at intervals Forty thousand bales of cotton are marketed and compressed hers. The ne- proes largely outnumher the whites in this region, but perfect harmony prevails be- tween the races. These negroes are out of politics and are content to be out. Woe be unto the white man who should tamper with them, for the "Yazoo plan" is as fixed pol icy with these people the laws of the Medes and Persians. The negroes have the finest church edi6ea in the city, and they have more schools than the whites and re- eeiVe the larger share of the school fund. These people look upon the negroes as their wards, and the man who imposes upon them is put under the ban. They sing a little song that begins;
 There's plenty of freedom and plenty of work For black and yaler and tan;
 But the whites must rule in aaoo land, For this is the azoo plan"
